Learn how stick insects use their bodies to look like twigs and hide from other animals. A fun and easy explanation for young kids aged 7.
Hi there! Have you ever seen a stick insect? It looks just like a small stick or twig on a tree. This is because stick insects use something called camouflage to hide from other animals.
Camouflage means that the insect's body color and shape help it blend in with the things around it, like leaves or sticks. This way, animals that want to eat the stick insect can't find it easily because it looks just like part of the tree.
So, stick insects look like twigs to stay safe and not get eaten. Isn't that cool? Nature has many different ways to help animals survive!
